Schumin Web Video Journal: Greetings from Durham, New Hampshire (1 of 2)

In this two-part edition of The Schumin Web Video Journal, I discuss a number of things related to the business trip I was in the midst of in Durham, New Hampshire. This video was filmed on location from the Holiday Inn Express in Durham, New Hampshire.

I discuss the following topics:

* Taking the Acela Express and the Downeaster from Washington DC to Durham
* Exercising at the hotel
* Mirrored walls in gyms and not wanting to look at one's self while exercising
* Seeing the scenes from the Acela
* Hotel bathrooms
* The full-size fire alarm horn in my hotel room
* Taking the bus and the Metro in DC, and taking the T in Boston
* Getting swabbed by the TSA in Union Station when boarding the Acela
* The July 12 collision on the Amtrak Downeaster (the day before my trip)
* Getting dropped off at Durham by the Downeaster (like getting plopped into a strange town)
